Summer break & please take quick anon survey on how I can improve

Hi, A quick video explaining that I’m taking a summer break from these. While I’m currently planning on coming back in September, I might not. I am really interested to find out a bit more about you! Who watches these and why? What do you like or dislike about them? Can I improve? Should I continue? I’ve designed a short anonymous survey [https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MLXPT7F]to help make the decision - please do take it! Bear in mind that these videos take several hours each by the time I’ve curated the actions, wrestled them into a script and then recorded them. It then takes my fabulous volunteer a few more hours to edit them into something nice. I’m not really in a position to become way more professional (partly time constraints, partly video talent) but I am definitely open to (reasonable) suggestions! Thanks for watching and taking the survey! [https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MLXPT7F] **** PS I’m hoping to use some of the time saved by not recording these on being able to write a bit more on substack.

What you missed in last 10 days: attacks on the midterms and 3 deaths in ICE encounters

What you might have missed this week: with four months to go until the midterms, Trump fired every member of the commission that helps run US elections, and the DOJ threatened election officials in all 50 states with criminal prosecution over a problem that experts say doesn’t really exist (non-citizen voting). And three people died in 7 days during encounters with ICE agents during traffic stops. In two of the cases, witnesses directly contradicted ICE’s account. In neither case was the victim the intended target of the operation. ICE briefly paused vehicle stops only for Trump to publicly overrule his own agency the next day.

Last week in the US: Trump's $2 billion year, birthright citizenship saga, and attacks on American history

Behind last week's headlines are some stories you might have missed... including a ridiculous amount of corruption, a hollowing of the state and the ongoing saga of Trump's attempt to restrict birthright citizenship, which is guaranteed by the US Constitution.Subtitles available and all actions on https://www.trumpactiontracker.info/ Thanks for reading Making sense... of evidence, data, and the stories they tell!

Two weeks in Trump's America: elections, environment, health and corruption

This week I cover how Trump is trying to subvert the midterms, from holding unrelated bills hostage over his voting bill, to a constant false claims of election fraud. And the I talk about the environment and health policy following being undermined by politicisation, and three types of corruption.Subtitles available and all actions available on TrumpActionTracker.info [https://www.trumpactiontracker.info/] Thanks for reading Making sense... of evidence, data, and the stories they tell!

What you missed this week: elections under attack, and Trump corruption

I decided to focus on just two main stories this week that I think have been under-reported: * How Republicans are trying to secure the midterms despite deep unpopularity - gerrymandering, mail ballot restrictions, manufactured fraud claims, and an FBI raid on a voter registration group. * A series of corruption stories: a conflict of interest over a herbal supplement, a White House crypto payout, a 96% breach of pardon guidelines, and two stories about loyalty to Trump that go beyond self-enrichment.
